Fig 2. Shaded Fuel Break "limbing up" trees to 10ft, remove trees and brush less than 6in in diameter, clearing from 30ft from the centerline. The goal is to keep ground fires on the ground.

Fig 3. Fuel break cleared up to the MROSD fenceline within the CalTrans right-of-way along California Highway 35 (Skyline Blvd). The Before image is how the entire section looked before the SSFSC project.
